11:40 AM EST Share The DIA board will consider earmarking $100,000 to the event that the DVI chief executive says could cost nearly $750,000.
Downtown Vision Inc. is asking the Downtown Investment Authority to earmark $100,000 toward bringing a pop-up ice rink to Riverfront Plaza if it can secure a vendor contract for the 2021 holiday season.
The DIA board will consider a Northbank Tax Increment District budget amendment for the 2020-21 fiscal year at its June 16 meeting to set aside money for the rink at the former Jacksonville Landing.
A June 7 memo by DIA CEO Lori Boyer says the $100,000 would help DVI with a down payment to international contractor Ice Rink Events.
